PREP 2026 TEST PAPER QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+
● Identify the rhythm. -Normal Sinus Rhythm
● Identify the rhythm. -VF with successful defibrillation and resumption
of organized rhythm
● Identify the rhythm. -SVT converting to sinus rhythm after adenosine
administration
● Identify the rhythm. -Torsades de pointes
● Identify the rhythm. -Supreaventricular Tachycardia (SVT)
● Identify the rhythm. -Sinus Tachycardia
● Identify the rhythm. -Sinus Bradycardis
● Identify the rhythm. -Asystole
, ● Identify the rhythm. -Wide-Complex Tachycardia
● Identify the rhythm. -Pulseless Electrical Activity
● Which statement is correct about endotracheal drug administration
during resuscitative efforts for pediatric
patients? -It is the least desirable route of administration
● Which oxygen delivery system most reliably delivers a high (90% or
greater) concentration of inspired oxygen to a 7-year-old child? -
Nonrebreathing face mask
● Paramedics are called to the home of a 1-year-old child. Their initial
assessment reveals a child who responds only to painful stimuli and has
irregular breathing, faint central pulses, bruises over the abdomen,
abdominal distention, and cyanosis. Bag-mask ventilation with 100%
oxygen is initiated. The child's heart rate is 36/min. Peripheral pulses
cannot be palpated, and central pulses are barely palpable. The cardiac
monitor shows sinus bradycardia. Two-rescuer CPR is started. Upon
arrival to the emergency department, the child is intubated and ventilated
with 100% oxygen, and IV access is established. The heart rate is now
150/min with weak central pulses but no distal pulses. Systolic blood
pressure is 74 mm Hg. Which intervention should be provided next? -
Rapid bolus of 20 mL/kg of isotonic crystalloid
